Runaway (Slavery Days Are Over)

I am more than you know, street lights and open roads
I am more than a face, stuck living in one place
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger than this place
And so far from alone

I don't believe in your hate, cause these scars are gonna fade
So pour me out like water, and soak me up like rain

Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight
Like a runaway

I whisper all these secrets, to a blank page on a line
Said we don't speak like lovers, and my words are dripping with wine
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger than this place
And so far from alone

Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight
Like a runaway

When burning bridges won't come down
Like symphonies without a sound
I spend these nights counting stars
And wonder if there's hope for me out there

Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight
